Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 7 Well, a little weak
"Hey, old man. In such a cold day, you don't stay at home to keep warm. What are you doing?" In order to show his closeness to the people, Luther got off his horse, passed the guards, asked the people to get up first, and then asked an old man among the people. .

This old man has silver-white hair, cheeks like dead wood, and traces of time all over his body.

It is estimated that he has never seen anything in the world, nor has he been treated so kindly by the noble master.The old man was at a loss.

This old man is all like this, let alone the rest.

And this is also the situation of ordinary people in this era. Facing the aristocratic lords, they all lack self-confidence.

The Pompeii territory is relatively better. There are more aristocratic territories, and most of them are numb ass people.

Luther felt that this had to change.The people of Pompeii must be confident.We must become strong, confident, optimistic, and united around the banner of the Pompeii family.

Ok.

"Have you brought dry food?" Luther turned around and asked Xiu Xiuya.

"Yes." Xiu Xiuya was a little confused about the purpose of this young master Luther, but he was taciturn, just like his father Magellan, who seemed to be printed by a mill.

In fact, this is the tutor of the iron horse family, do more things and talk less.

This is an important reason why the Iron Horse family has always been the confidants of the Pompeii family.So after Xiu Xiuya answered, he immediately took out a piece of wheat cake from the horse's back pocket.

Luther handed the wheatbread to the old man very kindly, and then said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, old man, I'm just saying hello and just asking."

After a pause, Luther introduced himself with a smile again: "My name is Luther, Pompeii, and I am the eldest son of Sol the Golden Lion."

The old man and his companions were not too surprised when Luther revealed his identity, because the noble master and young master of Pompeii's collar were all surnamed Pompeii.

It's just that this one has just been promoted to become a junior knight, the next generation head of the Pompeii family, Master Luther.

There was a flash of surprise in the hearts of the people.

The Pompeii family's reputation in Pompeii was still very high, and Luther's attitude finally eased the embarrassment of both parties.

Coupled with the fact that this old man has lived such a long time, he still has a little knowledge after all.The old man thanked Master Luther and hid the wheatbread in his inner pocket.

It's not easy to have a bite this season, and the old man's family is not rich, so he plans to take it back and feed it to his little grandson.

"Master Luther, we are the villagers of the sixth village. Because there is not enough salt in the village, and spring is coming soon, some farm tools are abandoned, so we plan to go to the blacksmith shop and grocery store near the castle to buy salt and farm tools. .”

The old man's voice was a little bumpy at first, and he was still very entangled in the identity of Master Luther, but he soon became smoother.

"So that's the case." Luther showed a look of surprise, salt is a must, and it is a monopoly business of Pompeii's family.Farm tools represent the future.

No wonder these villagers are still on their way in this winter.

"God of Harvest, I hope next year will be a bumper harvest." Luther first gave his blessing, and then said to the old man: "It's so cold, I won't delay the old man, go and come back quickly."

"Thank you, Master Luther." The old man quickly thanked, and then quickly left with a group of names.

It's like running away, but it's really contact with the noble lord, and the heart beats violently.

Ok.

But this Master Luther is really kind. Although the Lord of the Golden Lion Saul is not a tyrannical Lord, compared to Master Luther, Master Luther is more kind.

Pompeii's is so nice, hey.

The old man thought in his heart.

A drop of water forms a river, and every drop of kindness will sooner or later become a towering reputation.Luther simply expressed his attitude of being close to the people, planting the seeds, and the future harvest will definitely be great.

Luther glanced at the backs of the villagers of the sixth village leaving, smiled slightly, then got on his horse again, and continued to inspect his territory.

But as he continued to move forward, Luther frowned slightly.

The road is not easy to walk.

The road near the castle is very flat, it should be repaired by the Pompeii family to maintain the dignity of the nobles.But it was just a stretch of road, the farther away the road from the castle was, the harder it was to walk.

Potholes.The heavy snow that fell a few days ago turned into water stains, making the road very muddy and difficult to walk.

To be rich, build roads first.

Luther felt that it would be great if there was cement, and a smooth cement road could be built.Of course, Luther also knew about cement, and it was impossible to invent it in a short time.

So before that, it's good to fix the land first.

In addition to the land, the environment also made Luther frown frequently.

Both sides of the road, or even a central location.There are traces of feces everywhere, most of which are livestock feces, and a small part should be human.

Luther was weird.

There is a saying that is good, this fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.Most of the free people in Pompeii were farmers.How could they be willing to let the feces fall on the road.

Not only property damage, but also dirty and unhygienic.

"Why are there people's feces on the road? Why don't they pull them into their own toilets?" Luther turned his head and asked Xiu Xiuya.

Xiu Xiuya was silent for a while. Although he was not a nobleman, he had been a servant by Luther's side since he was a child, basically growing up in the castle.

I haven't thought about this issue either.

After thinking for a while, Xiu Xiuya said: "Maybe it's because of internal urgency, and ordinary people don't have the attention of nobles, so they defecate anywhere."

Speaking of this, Xiu Xiuya showed doubts, "Why is it in the toilet? Farmers generally don't have toilets in their homes, only toilets."

Luther was a little speechless. Isn't it common sense that manure is pulled into the toilet and then fermented for fertilization?
Luther quickly realized that this common sense was in his previous life, but this is a different world, so common sense might not be common sense.

Damn, it's a bit of a mouthful, but that's what it means.

Luther thought for a while, then asked Xiu Xiuya, "Where is the feces in our castle? How are they disposed of?"

Xiu Xiuya was a little embarrassed, but he was an honest and responsible child, so he shook his head and admitted, "I don't know."

"Does any of you know?" Luther asked after looking around at the ten elite fighters.

One of them, a lean but small warrior, stepped out.Luther knew that this was the captain of this small group of elite fighters, named Bowei.

Because as a commoner, I don't have knight secrets.So he can only be an ordinary soldier, but he is physically capable, and he is very brave in combat. He is a senior elite fighter.

Among the guards, the prestige is also high.

"Master Luther, the feces in the castle are collected and transported to the Eastern Forest." Bowei told Luther.

"Why transport it to the forest?" Luther was even more puzzled.

"The feces are really dirty, and it is easy to produce mosquitoes in summer. Of course, the farther the better, the better." Bo Wei replied as a matter of course.

Luther put his hands on his forehead, and it was too strenuous to communicate with them.Finally, Luther asked: "Do you know how to farm? Do the farmers in the territory have the habit of fertilizing the fields with manure?"

Well, I didn't know that manure had to be fermented before it could be used.
